Hourglass Lyrics by Sleep Amongst Tigers

Cardinals

2020

The lights and faces they all fade with time
And I, I think I knew that they would
Each road that you travel will come to an end
It takes new perspective to see what it meant
All too often what's behind governs our lives
We’re failing to live in the present
Don’t let it change the way the way you live while you’re still breathing
It’s settled, the road ahead will deliver your new direction
The past like an ocean's wave may take you
These waves consume us all
But the current it can lead you back to shore
Through waters unfamiliar
The past like an ocean's wave may break you
Keep swimming on steadfast
But the current it will lead you rest assured
Into waters unfamiliar
Past where you were before
Think of the past like sand in the bottom of an hourglass
Each grain is a moment of you
Each granule creates
Your personal landscape
Where you were where you’ve been
Will you see them again
Your identity in this waterless sea
That plays out momentary
In the vast scheme of things
Don’t let it change the way the way you live while you’re still breathing
It’s settled, the road ahead will deliver your new direction
The past like an ocean's wave may take you
These waves consume us all
But the current it can lead you back to shore
Through waters unfamiliar
The past like an ocean's wave may break you
Keep swimming on steadfast
But the current it will lead you rest assured
Into waters unfamiliar
Past where you were before
